  • Bad audio

    The opening music comes through very clear. Then once the show starts I can barely hear the speakers. It’s like they are in another room and I’m trying to listen though the door

  • Red tagged for horrible audio.

    The show descriptions got me to give it a listen, but the audio didn’t pass the pre-trip. I wanted (and tried) to give this show a shot after Talk CDL recommended them. The show sounds like it’s secretly recorded in the bathroom.
